| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens Jay23, I agree that some of the earlier Zu's , esp the ones with ribbons, weren't up to snuff ( and were quickly updated).Beernut, I still think you should try adding a sub or two. You might be surprised by the difference. I, too, had a crush on t... | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? I second stringreen. Johnny R is a good man to talk to. His Agon name is 'audioconnection'. PM him.The comments about interconnects are also another way to change the sound of your system, though you will need to research and trial many in order t... | |

| The merry go round. $700 seperates or integrated? An Adcom 555 puts out 200wpc at 8 ohms. I would hope that would be enough. | |
| New listening room electrical design Thanks sbank, I knew that figure cleeds gave was not right.Maril, for my money, I would go with #3.As I said a dealer may be a good person to contact for the best info.Johnny R (audioconnection) is an a Agon member/dealer. I would trust his opinio... | |
| The merry go round. $700 seperates or integrated? My ancient Adcom 555 still sounds pretty good after 35 years and it compared favorably with my McCormack DNA-1.The Adcom can be had for half of you budget.If you could spring for more, I would get a McCormack amp. | |
| New listening room electrical design Though I am not an electrician, I would first look at the power you can get from the utility.I have heard from the techs at McCormack that California power is quite variable and differences during the day/night are significant.Should this be your ... | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? First, Welcome Etwilley. Second, maybe you could post some pics of your 'sound room' on Agon.That would help us determine if you need some change in placement or adding sound treatments.Since you now enjoy the sound you have, you probably have thi... | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution How did she get up so high to damage the tweeter? If she did that, I would suspect damage lower down, as well....In any case, for a speaker that costs that much, then sending them back to Magico would be the best solution. Hopefully, you have the ... | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens I googled Speed Subs, but didn't get anything regarding subwoofers. | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens I own a pair of Unions, earlier renditions of the Omens, and think you would enjoy them. They are more 'forward' than Maggies (or my Vandy 3a sigs), but seem to reveal a lot more of the transient details.I think both the Maggies and the Zu would b... | |
| Individual International Seller Scam Czarivey, perhaps you could be a little more sympathetic to the OP's plight. Taiye, sorry you had this happen to you. But, as you said, 'lesson learned'.I think it was a very generous gesture to provide this information. I also hope you will be co... | |
| An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers Goldprintaudio, I was looking at the MSRP which said something like $2500 Asianatorizzle, the decware always intrigued me, I need to do some more research...Smrex, If I can get a used Dynamo, that would be another option. | |
| An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers Goldprintaudio, the Line Magnetic seem a bit pricier than I was hoping, though I have never gone the tube route.Yogiboy, the odyssey looks promising, thanks! | |
| Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal??? Qbndds, you are welcome. It was a nice thread. Another FWIW, I would get a ’liitle extra’ length so that you have some ’wiggle room’. I can’t tell you how many times when I tried to keep things short, I ended up having more problems connecting com... |
